Russian Woman Viral Video: Crossing busy Indian roads can be tricky for anyone new to the country, and a Russian woman living in Jaipur recently showed just how to do it like a local, in a way that’s both clever and funny. Vera Prokofeva shared a video on Instagram where she teaches her friend the unique ‘Indian style’ of crossing the road. She begins by saying, “The first rule you need to learn in India is how to cross the road.” Then, with confident hand signals, she shows how to get drivers to stop without actually stopping the traffic lights.

“You have to show them you are stopping them, and then walk to the other side,” Vera explains, as she carefully and skillfully makes her way across the busy street. She even crosses twice to make sure her friend gets the hang of it, ending the video with a cheerful “Mission complete successfully!”

The video quickly caught the attention of thousands online, receiving over 235k views so far. While many praised Vera for her clever tips and confidence, some viewers were unsure if this style really works everywhere.

The video shared a few days ago pulled many reactions from Instagram users. "Careful, not every time drivers stopped the cars," a user wrote. "Ya secret bharatsaBaharkaseChalagaya, pakkakisiapne ka hi haathhai," a second user wrote. "Don't go in traffic and stop when it is heavy. Want and go when it's light and gently move with a steady pace so the driver can judge. This is bad. You guys dont know anything about common sense. Don't disrupt the traffic flow when the light is green and everyone is coming in. Hope this helps," added a third user.

"Don't do that if you see a THAR on the road. Thar riders are the newest brand of chhapri," warned a fourth user. "Hahahaha, you learnt it right. Also, don't forget to yell "aberukh" if the vehicle doesn't stop," a fifth user added. "Perfect, but sometimes check the speed of cars, this power can't control high speed suddenly," added another.
